Movie Reviews of A Clockwork Orange [HD DVD]
Movie Review: Winnmusic
Summary: 5 Stars
This all new 2007 Digital Transfer of "Clockwork" is must for any fan of this film or films of Stanley Kubrick.
Colors are rich and the new transfer is crystal clear. After seeing so many grainy and faded versions throughout the years, it's great to see this film they way it should have looked like. Sound is quite a enhancement as well. As any fan of this film music is the utmost important factor too. So much classical music is played especially Beethoven.
The special features are extremely informative as well. Many of the features give a detailed history of the film and why it was banned in England for so many years. Now folks in the UK can see "Clockwork" in prestine condition. Malcom McDowell specials are very entertaining but a little too long. My only little gripe!
Must get this to add to any classic film collection!!
Summary of A Clockwork Orange [HD DVD]
Stanley Kubrick's striking visual interpretation of Anthony Burgess's famous novel is a masterpiece. Malcolm McDowell delivers a clever, tongue-in-cheek performance as Alex, the leader of a quartet of droogs, a vicious group of young hoodlums who spend their nights stealing cars, fighting rival gangs, breaking into people's homes, and raping women. While other directors would simply exploit the violent elements of such a film without subtext, Kubrick maintains Burgess's dark, satirical social commentary. We watch Alex transform from a free-roaming miscreant into a convict used in a government experiment that attempts to reform criminals through an unorthodox new medical treatment. The catch, of course, is that this therapy may be nothing better than a quick cure-all for a society plagued by rampant crime. A Clockwork Orange works on many levels--visual, social, political, and sexual--and is one of the few films that hold up under repeated viewings. Kubrick not only presents colorfully arresting images, he also stylizes the film by utilizing classical music (and Wendy Carlos's electronic classical work) to underscore the violent scenes, which even today are disturbing in their display of sheer nihilism. Ironically, many fans of the film have missed that point, sadly being entertained by its brutality rather than being repulsed by it. --Bryan ReesmanStanley Kubrick's striking visual interpretation of Anthony Burgess's famous novel is a masterpiece.

Warner Brothers A Clockwork Orange (HD-DVD)
Stomping, whomping,stealing, singing, tap-dancing, violating. Derby-topped teddy-boy hooligan Alex has his own way of having a good time. He has it at the tragic expense of others. Alex's journey from amoral punk to brainwashed proper citizen forms the dynamic arc of Stanley Kubrick's future-shock vision of Anthony Burgess' novel. Unforgettable images startling musical counterpoints, the fascinating language used by Alex and his pals - Kubrick shapes them into a shattering whole. Hugely controversial when first released, "A Clockwork Orange" won the New York Film Critics Best Picture and Director honors and earned four Academy Award nominations, including bestpicture. The power of its art is such that it still entices, shocks and holds us in its grasp.
